The 'KFC Big Bills Fill' offers customers 125 chances to experience NFL
history
TORONTO, Oct. 23 /CNW/ - The Bills Toronto Series today announced a
sponsorship agreement that designates KFC Canada as an official sponsor. The
agreement runs through the 2010 National Football League season and applies to
the more than 100 KFC quick service restaurants in the Greater Toronto Area -
all of which will be offering the exclusive KFC Big Bills Fill meal.
Over the next four weeks customers at participating restaurants who
purchase the KFC Big Bills Fill - a meal consisting of the Big Crunch Premium
Chicken Sandwich, one piece of Original Recipe Chicken, fries, salad and a 32
oz drink created specifically for the Bills Toronto Series - will have a
chance to win one of 125 pairs of tickets to see the Buffalo Bills battle
division rivals the Miami Dolphins December 7, 2008 at Rogers Centre in
Toronto.
"Partnering with the Bills Toronto Series provides KFC Canada with an
excellent way to connect with customers, especially the key target of males
under 30 who are passionate about NFL football," said Steve Langford,
President of Priszm Income Fund, which is one of the world's largest KFC
franchisees. "The KFC Big Bills Fill is an eat-big win-big proposition. Not
only will it offer our customers a very satisfying meal, but also provide them
the chance to be a part of history when the NFL plays a regular season game in
Canada for the first time ever. "
The KFC Big Bills Fill program will be supported with in-restaurant and
menu-board signage featuring the Bills Toronto Series logo. Customers
purchasing the meal will receive a PIN number that will allow them to enter at
www.KFC.ca for a chance to win one of 125 pairs of Bills Dolphins tickets.
Beginning on November 28, 2008, the KFC Big Bills Fill program will also offer
customers the chance to win coveted tickets to Super Bowl XLIV in Miami,
Florida in 2010 through KFC's partnership with Pepsi Canada.
As part of the sponsorship agreement KFC Canada also receives Video and
LED Ribbon Board advertising spots at Rogers Centre for Bills Toronto Series
games through 2010.
